Looking back - a 42 year-old Reinforced Earth wall

On the site of Canada’s largest church, the Saint Joseph Oratory is home to one of the iconic structures for the Reinforced Earth Company Ltd.  Constructed in 1975 this retaining wall features a raised architectural finish and is performing with excellent durability about one quarter of its way to the 200 year service life required by the Church.
